This randomised crossover trial investigated the acute haemodynamic and perceptual responses to graded intradialytic resistance exercise in 48 stable adults undergoing maintenance haemodialysis. The study found that higher perceived exercise intensity significantly increased systolic blood pressure by 14.9 mmHg and heart rate by 15.5 beats per minute compared to a non-exercise control condition.

Key findings

  • Systolic blood pressure increased by 14.9 mmHg with higher perceived intensity compared to control.
  • Diastolic blood pressure rose by 8.4 mmHg during higher intensity exercise.
  • Heart rate increased by 15.5 beats per minute with higher perceived intensity.
  • Rating of perceived exertion increased by 6.7 points during graded exercise.

Why it matters

Understanding the acute responses to intradialytic exercise can help clinicians tailor exercise prescriptions for patients on haemodialysis, potentially improving their overall health and well-being during treatment.
